Yang Fan wanted to die.
He wanted to end his life in this Historical Fragment.
Yet he could not kill himself; he could only be killed.
But the problem now was that no one else would let him die.
And the only person he could count on was Wang Quan.
"Fellow Daoist Flower-Scatter, you promised to make it quick."
Wang Quan nodded. "I did."
"But what I'm promising you now is-to end your life after some time has passed."
A trace of unease rose in Yang Fan's heart. "After some time? How long?"
Wang Quan said earnestly, "Once the Era Cataclysm is over, I'll finish you off and scatter flowers for you."
Yang Fan murmured, "This isn't the outcome I wanted."
Wang Quan consoled him. "This outcome is actually quite good."
"The living beings of our era suspect that you and the Young Master you follow brought about the Era Cataclysm."
"You anchored history and aided a tyrant in his atrocities. Who knows how many people you harmed?"
"The suffering you're enduring now counts as compensation."
Yang Fan fell silent for a moment. "I don't know what this Era Cataclysm you speak of is."
"All I know is that the Young Master is wholly devoted to the common good, to all living beings under heaven."
"Everything he does is for this world."
"You shouldn't lay the blame on him."
"Everything the Young Master does is right."
Hearing this, Wang Quan smiled without speaking.
There was no need for him to argue with Yang Fan.
"Whatever you think, you'll still have to keep this fragment of the era running for some time to come."
At that moment, Yang Fan regretted it.
Had he known, he would never have told Wang Quan so much.
Now look what had happened. This Historical Fragment
